The series was initially canceled after its first season but picked up a following through syndication, later becoming the most-watched TV show of its time. At the peak of its popularity, \u201cBaywatch\u201d set a Guinness World Record, becoming the most widely viewed TV series in the world with an average weekly audience of over 1.1 billion viewers. It officially ended in 2001 but had a reunion in 2003 on Fox.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time a \u201cBaywatch\u201d reboot has emerged.
